Obviously wholesalers is a main way but 9 out of 10 times you will need to pay with cash or HM and probably won’t have an inspection or option period.

They are holding funds so they can live in the float as long as possible, probably because they don't have the cash to pay up.

Already positive cash flow if your paying rent out.  

@Tanjaree TurnerIf you can move it to a self directed ira then you typically don’t pay penaltiesThere are several sdira companies on BP who could provide more information or a simple google search will give you names of many.

If you're paying anyway..might as well get a G Wagon, or in this case a STR out of it. lol Check in with me if you'd like to explore OR, I work with a lot of absentee investors from your region.

Pay a title company for a title report.

I have a client that has $300K they want to reinvest in real estate.

He has assisted a ton of my clients in the Tampa Bay Area successfully house hack.

My approach is two fold:- Gently keep in mind and remind clients there are two parties and perspectives involved.- Address buyer's concerns with reputable local professional and expert evaluations and written estimates.For example if the deck needs to be repaired or replaced, during the contingency period I'll attempt to have at least 1-2 licensed contractors provide written estimates.

Investing time to learn the market will pay great financial rewards to future you.
